Here's how you can easily build a DIRT CHEAP SUBSTITUTE for traditional laser engraver modules to install on ANY STYLE of pen plotter! This must be the zero effort solution for getting most of the engraving fun you'd get from normal diode laser engraving, but without the associated eye hazard and for almost free! This thing should literally take no more than 10 cents and less than an hour to build!
Because laser engraver modules are really expensive and people tend to be careless around laser radiation anyway, the idea was to get rid of the dangerous light source all together and do the engraving the good old fashioned way: using direct heat! In this video I show you how to build a super simple and tiny wood burning iron that directly replaces the pen on literally any style of pen plotter, allowing you to start engraving even with laser-incompatible machines.
If you decide to build one of these, make it only 5 to 10 watts as excessive heat can lead to carbon buildup on the tip. Through some experimenting after the fact I can now say 7-8 watts should be ideal for getting the highest range of shades on a plotter using the 28BYJ-48 stepper motors.
